ASUS EN9400GT-1GB Geforce 9400GT Half-Height Videocard Review - PCSTATS
If you've been keeping up with PCSTATS you'll know that in the Asus EN9600GT videocard review we mentioned that there are other, more affordable graphics cards better suited to playing movies on a HTPC. As luck would have it, one of them magically appeared in the PCSTATS labs this week.

3DMark Vantage is a pretty good indication that the ASUS EN9400GT videocard is not made for gaming. If you use 3DMark Vantage at home and your GPU score is in the triple digits, it's time to upgrade to a new videocard.

STALKER: Clear Sky

Source: GSC

Stalker: Clear Sky is a prequel to Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. The player assumes the role of Scar, a veteran Stalker mercenary who is rescued by Clear Sky, a faction looking to explore the ruins of the Chernobyl power plant and solve the mystery at the heart of the Zone. The Sun Shafts test is part of Stalker's benchmarking suite, which uses DirectX 10 graphics capabilites and can stress even the fastest videocards.

Running STALKER on this videocard can be strangely calming. Instead of worrying about gunning down enemy soldiers and adventuring, you instead get to contemplate the slideshow in front of you, each static image on your screen poignant with potential movement.
